AUA Splendor of Asian Cultural Heritage Photo Contest

For thousands of years, the vast land of Asia has bred vibrant and interconnected civilizations. Cultural heritage is what connects this long and flourishing history to the present and the future. It is also critical to promoting development, stimulating innovation, addressing global challenges, and nurturing peace in Asia and across the world.

To further bring attention to the diversity of Asian cultural heritage and encourage cultural exchange, the Asian Universities Alliance (AUA) will host a photo contest with the theme “Splendor of Asian Cultural Heritage” organized by Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School (Tsinghua SIGS). The contest will be the first of the “Embracing Asian Diversity” Photo Contest Series.  The photo contest series aims to capture and celebrate Asia’s diversity and its impact on the world through the lens of the camera and from the perspective of students across the continent.

Students of HKUST are now invited to highlight the splendor of the cultural heritage of Asia by submitting photographs that reflect their own perspectives on cultural heritage, both intangible and tangible.
